From Wikipedia
Neo-medieval music is a modern popular music characterized by elements of medieval music and early music in general. Music styles within neo-medieval music vary from authentic performance interpretations of medieval music (understood as classical music) to crossover genres that blend medieval instruments, such as bagpipe, shawm and hurdy-gurdy with electronic music and rock. In many cases, it is more or less overlapping with styles such as folk rock, British folk rock and neofolk.
Bands specializing in neo-medieval music are particularly plentiful in Germany, although the genre also enjoys some popularity in North America, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Scandinavia.
